About NDW: Studio-approved danceshop

Chosen by Instructors. Trusted by Parents. Loved by Dancers.

Every piece chosen by the instructors who know what dancers need.

At Neighbour Dancewear (NDW), we make it effortless for parents to support their child’s love of dance...no guessing, no stress, just the right gear to help them move, grow, and shine.

 Without you—dancers, teachers, and studios—we wouldn’t exist, and we don’t take that for granted.

Every piece of dancewear is carefully chosen by the instructors who teach and inspire dancers daily, so your child can feel confident, comfortable, and ready to shine in every class. No more worrying about itchy leotards, wrong sizes, or gear that doesn’t last.

And because we believe in giving back, every purchase also supports the studios and teachers who nurture dancers every day. Just share your studio’s name and location, and we’ll set up a partnership completely free...No setup costs, no hidden fees. Just support flowing back to the places that keep the joy of dance alive. Studios enrolled in our program receive monthly contributions to help them grow, thrive, and keep the joy of dance alive.


Our Core Values

Supporting the Dance Community

Every purchase you make doesn’t just outfit your dancer. It gives back to the studios and instructors who inspire them every day.

By shopping with NDWShop, you help ensure that studios have the resources they need to teach, grow, and create joyful experiences for dancers of all ages.

Your support helps keep classes vibrant, costumes ready, and programs running smoothly—so dancers can explore their passion, build confidence, and feel part of a community that cares. Together, we’re not just buying dancewear; we’re nurturing the heartbeat of dance and helping dancers find their passion every neighborhood.

Parent-First Guidance

We know you have a lot on your plate; between school runs, work, and managing your child’s activities, the last thing you need is the stress of buying dancewear that doesn’t fit, wears out too quickly, or leaves you guessing what’s appropriate for class. Too often, parents end up buying leotards, tights, and shoes over and over—wasting time, money, and energy.

At NDWShop, we do it differently. Every item is hand-selected and instructor-approved, ensuring your child has the right gear for their age, level, and class requirements. That means fewer returns, no guessing, and gear that lasts so you can focus on cheering them on, not replacing worn-out dancewear.

We take care of the details so you can relax, confident that your dancer is properly equipped, comfortable, and ready to shine in every single class.

Joyful Dance Journey

From your first class to your proudest performance, we believe every dancer deserves to feel confident and comfortable. That's why our studio-approved pieces are chosen by real dancers and instructors to help you move freely, grow with confidence, and enjoy every moment of your dance journey.


Our Mission

Our mission is to provide studio-backed, instructor-approved dancewear that supports dancers at every stage of their journey. Chosen by the instructors who teach and train dancers every day, our goal is to make quality, affordable dancewear accessible while giving back to the local studios and teachers who keep the arts alive.
